As we reluctantly close the curtain on summer style and begin considering dressing for breezier and more changeable forecasts, one trend making itself known by permeating designer and high-street collections is the brown suede jacket.
The fashion forecast has spoken and this year the focus is on saturated colour ways and sepia tones for coats and jackets, resulting in a refreshing update on atypical autumn outerwear. While previous year's Autumn/Winter trends championed aviator-style shearling jackets, 2024's reworked trend borrows the rich colour and slouchy fit from seasons past, without a shearling lining or metal stud details, to give it a paired back throw-on feel, making it well suited for the transitional season ahead.
Although there are varying iterations of the brown suede jacket, popular details (or lack there of on this new minimalist style) include simple peter pan collars and almost-shirt like detailing - despite many styles heavy enough to be worn as outerwear on a chilly autumnal day. And whilst grunge is set to make a return this winter, you can hold fire on your heavy biker jackets and pair them with heavy wool plaids when the mercury drops. For now, this is a biker stud free zone, where polished brown suede jackets are set to take the fashion world by storm.
